according to thedigitalbits.com it looks like its not happening: ' You know that mega-bombad 9-disc Ultimate Star Wars Saga box set that's been in the works for a few years now? The one that was expected to be released later this year to celebrate the 30th Anniversary? Yeah... maybe not so much anymore. We've been hearing from multiple sources now that the folks up at Lucasburg were surprised enough at the lackluster sales of last year's Star Wars Trilogy DVD re-run ("Now with Han shoots first!&quot that they're afraid they might have gone to the Sarlacc Pit one too many times, so to speak. There's talk apparently that the box set could get delayed a year or two to amp up demand for the films on disc again. Don't know how serious this all is, but that's the word that's blowing in the wind.' http://www.thedigitalbits.com/rumormill.html#02...

Well, here in the states, just below Ohio (in Kentucky) I could not turn around and not bump into a display stand selling the original release Star Wars DVDs in individual cases with no extra DVD forced upon the consumer. I did buy mine at the local Wal-Mart because it had the option to get some action figures with them, but the individual DVDs were also available there.

well- here in the states (at least in Ohio) ol' George packaged the original '77 version we've all been waiting for WITH Phantom Menace in a limited time only 2 disc set.

The same held true for Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi (ponied up together with the appropriate matching episode from the new films)

So as far as I knew- you HAD to buy both (and I already HAD Phantom Menace)in this combined 2 disc package.

(fortuantely I only wanted A New Hope- fortunately I also knew someone who could just burn it for me- forcing me to break my long time vow (just this once) never to go down that dark path of buying 'burned' DVDs.... but theres no way I was going to pay 19.95 for not only a DVD I already owned (Phantom Menace) but for something I had already paid to see.... ...a dozen times when it was in the theater ...and then on video ....and then on DVD ...and now AGAIN in a combined 2 disc set)

Especially the last one having to actually BUY Phantom menace AGAIN in order to get the long awaited original version from '77. Why wasnt it just packaged for 9.95? He could have sold millions of copies.

Actually I am quite happy with the DVD's of all 6 I already have. The behind the scenes from the new films is just about the BEST behind the scenes collection I have ever seen from ANY other studio--they should all take notes on how to put together a behind the scenes disc

Other then all of that whining about the money I am looking forward to the live action TV series in 2009.

Imagine ---all new adventures in a boxed set of 25 episodes each PLUS behind the scenes...... bring it on George...my credit card awaits.

Why would you buy Episode I on DVD to get the original '77 version of IV?

My friend Jess he works at Baker & Taylor (which handels DVD's sales to some Video stores & Barnes and Noble). he told me the Star Wars stuff! he also heard that the upcoming DVD SET is to be the "SET THE STANDARD" for future DVD sets!

Well someone e-mailed me that a "6 Movie" disc set will be out by October. However he seemed to think that there would be a making of documentary for EACH movie! The original movie editons will also be included for "each movie". He also said that NO WAY IN HELL that we would ever see "The Star Wars Holiday Special" ever released. In fact when any acotor talks on camera about the "holiday episode" is edited out!

He says he hasn't herd if they will be remastering the original trilogy movie editions! However A NEW HOPE is the center part of this set!

I think once you buy the Star Wars Box Set, you should be able to send a "proof of purchased" for a mail order of Sea Monkeys , but instead of Sea Monkeys, it would be for a Tauntaun. When the Tauntaun grows, you trained it to kill all the Ewoks!
